Big Boys Let's Talk Cable

Just bought a new 95ah AGM cell, has somewhere around 165 RH and 900cca, it's a beast lol. I have enough 2/0 pure copper welding lead to make 2 runs to the back. This stuff is good for 200+ amps every 15'. I have a 240a alt and will be pulling 3k watts so I think I need to make 2 runs to the rear battery? What are your thoughts? I went with ill kustomz block connectors and pure copper 2/0 lugs just afk. Edit for additional info fyi

The 2/0 welding wire I have said something like 400 amps for 50ft run.

Two runs should be plenty.

Yeah this stuff is labeled 350amp per 50' but I always use the standard code for worst case scenario lol.
